Good luck to all Quest master hunters!
Yeah, good luck everyone! I feel it may be a low-scoring contest!
On a more important note, here are this weeks race highlights from Tokyo... FINALLY!
Round 2 (Tokyo R246 Reverse) Highlight Reel - Photographed by X3rx3s44
The grid is set for the start of Round 2 in the 2011 ANZ Lexus IS F RM Championship...
The leaders plow into turn 1, Stig made a good start and out-braked both Bonson and Waynz, whilst I also out-braked them to make it 3-wide at the front heading into turn 1...
A couple of laps in and our 3-car breakaway group battles coming up through the twisties in sector 1, Stig ran wide and got poor drive holding up Bonson in the process and allowing me to make a run down the inside of the first left bend... This is super-close! 👍
Stig gets some free air as Bonson and I jostle for position as we weave our way left and right through the bends...
...Coming into the double-left at the end of sector 1 and I have managed to hold my ground through the bends allowing me the inside line and forcing Bonson to yield as we battle-on toward the end of sector 1!
Some laps in and things have settled as people make stops for damage and tyres, here, Mike starts his charge for the win and slips by Taital through the fast kink on the start/finish straight... Wow Taital, that looks like your running some serious front camber there!
Really not much else to report through the race as everyone made moves up and down the running order prodominantly during stops. So here we are at the last corner of the race, Mike and I had battled hard for 7 laps and with my tyres gone (18 laps, 1 set of Mediums!...
) and substantial damage it would take a miracle for me to hold Mike out with the exceptional speed and consistency he displayed! I thought I had him covered though as we entered the final turn...
...But what's this! As we cross the line, Mike has JUST edged ahead to take a well-deserved win! Well done Mike! 👍 I thought this should make the highlight reel to show what 0.011 seconds looks like as we streaked across the line!...
Again, we had another very sedate race with not much in the way of battles, most of the position changes were made in the pitstops and everyone seemed to have more of those than they would have liked!
Looking forward to the sprint races in Round 3, they will make for some great photos I have no doubt! 👍 Also hopefully, the pit lane can be less utilised at Deep Forest, although, I have a feeling with the undulating nature of the track there will still be a few people stop for repairs throughout the sprints!
Cheers, Xerx
